Citizenship Legislation For 9/11 Immigrant VictimsHon. Maloney (D-NY) re-introduced legislation that would grant citizenship to the spouses and children of legal immigrants who
were killed on September 11, 2001. Sen. Corzine (D-NJ) said, "My legislation would bestow honorary citizenship on legal immigrants
and non-immigrants who died in the disaster....Perhaps more important, the bill would offer citizenship to surviving spouses and children, subject to a background investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation."
